Switched | Zayn Malik AU

Night Changes

Zayn suddenly walks out from the darkness and the next thing I know, there were lights. Thousands of twinkling white fairly lights illuminating the place. The trees at the far end were also covered with lights and some were falling down from the branches. It almost looked like they were falling straight from the sky.

"Constance Flynn, I want you to know that no matter how life is treating us, I will always try my best and treat you like my Princess. We've had a pretty bad night, but that doesn't mean we'll have a bad life together." Zayn said, approaching me with a box of pizza.

This boy, really.

We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about you lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

It was only then that I realized that there were lots of people behind him. People from school, people from the neighborhood, and people I don't even recognize. I normally would be shy, but this time, it didn't matter. He was in front of me, looking at me like I was the only person here.

"Will you, so kindly, go to homecoming with me?" He says while getting down on one knee.

"I think you should go with a bowtie." I said, referring to what he was going to wear. I nodded and kissed him, pulling him up from his position.

"Okay, so Louis told me that we're supposed to dance until the song finishes, so we have to like..sway?" He said. He's so cute when he's trying to be romantic.

Going out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost

He sings along with the song. I've never really given much thought to how sweet his voice can be. He has the power to tell stories with the way he's singing.

My head was leaning on Zayn's chest when Harry caught my eye. I didn't know he sings well, too. I looked at him who was singing to Louis. I've never been so happy for letting go of someone. They were both so happy and I'm glad I found my happiness, too.

It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby

"Congratulations, love birds!" I heard Louis shout. I laughed at his choice of words. That was what we would call him and Harry. A pun for their matching tattoos.

"Thanks, Man." He said, giving Louis a man hug.

"Congratulations!" Harry said while kissing me on the cheek.

"Hey, don't get too close." Zayn said while patting Harry at the back. Never have I ever thought that this would ever happen. Him and Harry getting along.

"I wouldn't want that, either." Louis said.

"Hey, you were the one who almost kissed her earlier!" Harry said jokingly.

"Before you guys get into an argument, I think we should leave now." Zayn said while taking my hand.

I mouthed 'Thank you' to everyone in the band and everyone who came. They were shouting 'Congratulations!' like we just got married.

"Hey, are you sure we're supposed to be leaving them?" I asked Zayn.

"Some of them just came for the booze."

"What booze?"

"Louis invited people to come over if they wanted to witness a big surprise. Turns out more than half of the students from our grade heard about it, thinking it was going to be a big party. Before you came, they wouldn't stop talking and he got so pissed and told them that he would buy them pizza if they'd shut up. So they did. Most of them actually stayed to help, but some just really wanted to see me sing." He winked.

He led me to where his car was parked and saw that the door was unlocked.

"You didn't lock the door?" He told me.

"I was too worried to even think about some stupid car door. I'm sorry." I told him while he opened the passenger door for me.

"Uh yeah, about that. We just didn't know how to make you come here." He said as soon as he sat on the driver's seat.

"Louis made it sound sound so real."

"Yeah, before he became soccer captain, he was the drama club's best actor." He explained.

"Ahh, the jack of all trades."

"Exactly." He said as he drove away.

OOPS. I'm sorry for cutting the chapter here.

The next chapter's going to be...eventful.

I just wanted to update so people could get answers to their questions about what happened to Zayn.

If you're starting to get bored with the story, I'm so sorry :(

For those who still want to go on with it, thank you. My heart is yours.

I'm gonna go and start asking questions for every chapter until the books ends.

QUESTION/S OF THE CHAPTER:

Fav song from FOUR?

Fav song from UAN/TMH/MM?

Fav 1D album?

ALSOOOO-- I've just deleted 1994. (I'm sorry!) I just couldn't find the motivation to go on with writing it anymore.

But Switched is still on, so are Blindsided and Collide (which is currently on hold) :)
